How to use this prompt

The drawer must be open enough to reveal the cards inside, or the image is just a wooden box. Brass label holders catch the light and give the eye metallic highlights; matte pulls look dead. "No text" prevents SDXL from generating unreadable catalog labels. Warm reading-room light keeps the wood rich; cool light makes it look like an office. Layer a few cards so they overlap naturally; perfectly aligned cards look digitally composed. If the cards look too clean, add "slightly yellowed edges".

Variations to try

  • Close-up version: focus on a single card with a brass pull and soft bokeh
  • Two-drawer version: show two open drawers with cards fanning out between them
